Event
Our vision
Bringing the community together to crown the inaugural SRC Ekiden Champions.
Inspired by Japan's Hakone Ekiden and the Paris Ekiden, this format encourages mingling — runners don't just compete, they stay to cheer on their teammates. Expect six hours of shared kilometers, music, and a tight pack of friends at the line.
The relay
Six legs
A team of 3 to 6 runners splits the full marathon. Each leg is run on a fun, looped course around Norra Djurgården.
Total: 42.195 km. Sash hand-off happens at the start/finish line between every leg.
